Feeling Guilty About Your Farts Causing Global Warming?

Well then give your money to this Australian company, which promises to spend it on neutralizing your methane emissions by purchasing energy-saving products.

IF you own a cat, you know the smelly truth: they break wind and it’s foul. Not only that, it harms the planet.

All forms of flatulence – from cats, dogs, even from Dad – contain methane, a greenhouse gas thought to contribute to climate change.

If you’ve been feeling guilty about it, help is at hand. For just $8, a Sydney-based company, Easy Being Green, can now make your cat carbon-neutral, so it can “live guilt-free for a year”.

Make no mistake, the cat will still smell, and its emissions will still contain methane, but Easy Being Green vows to spend the $8 you give them on products, such as energy saving light bulbs and water-saving shower heads, that reduce emissions elsewhere (if not in your own backyard).

Well, it’s not quite as absurd as Gore’s concert on Antarctica.
